LIKE NEW Multiple awards winner, Canada. Amazingly well-written and eloquent portrayal of how a person becomes a refugee. This is set in Afghanistan, but is a universal refugee story. Excellent for awakening sympathy and thoughtfulness in ourselves and our children. It is not so long ago that Western Europe also suffered cataclysmic war. I heard many stories from my mother
This book is aimed at the young adult market, but I thought it was terrific (and I'm an adult).
